Preparation Tips
Keep HVAC running normally for at least 2 hours before the scan. Clear access to walls, windows, electrical panels, and mechanical rooms. Avoid recent surface drying (fans/dehumidifiers) unless part of restoration. Have recent leak dates or areas of concern ready to discuss
Thermal Imaging for Restoration
Moisture spreads beyond visible staining. Our IR scans map the true extent of water damage so dry-out and rebuild are targeted and verifiable.
- Locate hidden wet zones to prevent secondary mold growth
- Verify dry standards before closing walls
- Document progress for insurers with time-stamped images
